Tasty Easy Dished to Make With Your Beautiulf Girl Friend
Okay so how many "date nights" so far this year have you spent ordering in takeout, sitting on the couch, Netflixing, chilling, etc. etc.?! It's time to switch it up a bit. Hear me out: What if the date was the dinner-making process, and you used it as an opportunity for things to get a little, idk, ~spicy~ in the kitchen?
No one's saying you have to attempt a beef bourguignon and chocolate soufflé situation together—I don't know anyone who has the attention span for that. But hey, what about a buff chicken bowl, or even some classic breakfast for dinner? That way, you won't even need to do that thing where you pass off your secret Seamless order as a homemade Michelin-starred meal (though we have all been there). Nor does it mean you have to cancel the evening and reschedule after you've taken a full-blown cooking course.
Doable, fancy-looking, delicious romantic dinners DO exist. We know because we scoured the interwebs to find alll the right recipes to make your date night amazing. It doesn't even matter if you both are lacking in Ina Garten-level skills. This can be a fun, experimental project you can create together, and it doesn't even matter if it doesn't come out perfectly.
Just take a breath, do a shot of tequila if you're feeling the pre-date jitters, and scroll through this list of romantic dinner ideas. Our menu of date night recipes that you both can totally cook includes vegan options, lots of Italian things (in case you're feeling ambitious and wanna whip up a pasta dish *and* a truffle oil pizza), a fancy grilled cheese, some Korean BBQ, and so much more. You got this!
